I graduated just before Xmas and have kept up 5k two to three times a week since then, going to my first park run today and feeling a bit nervous! I usually run on my own with my dog, so the thought of running alongside 200 others is a bit daunting! (Dog not going to be happy when I'm in running gear and he is not coming!!) hopefully I won't come last!!

When I do Parkrun I start right at the back and use someone who's going my kind of speed as a pacemaker, just following behind them. Then later on, if I feel I've got something left in the tank, then I start passing, and find someone else who's going a little quicker.

Start off slow and steady, speed up towards the end if you think you can.
